Retro TV Friday

Leave it to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling to use their "superstars" to promote their British rights holder's revival of the Goodson-Todman game show "Blockbusters" that had successful runs in both the United States (Bill Cullen) and in the United Kingdom (Bob Holness most notably). While it's the one versus one format with adults, much unlike the classic one versus pair format and the teenage contestants in the Holness (UK) version, see if you can detect a reference to a certain part of the game at the end. The original Goodson concept was interesting and would be better than the trash television that airs today. ◙
